7.B. Tank Maintenance Contract During the FY 2019 Budget meetings, Council asked Ms. Alexander and Mr. Griffin to review the Town s tank maintenance contract with Southern Corrosion, which began in September 2012. Gavin Harrell with Southern Corrosion will be in attendance to answer any questions Council may have. The current 2012 contract includes interior cleaning of each tank every 5 years. Every tank except Fleetwood #2 will have the interior painted every 15 years, and exterior painted every 7 years. After review, the only change that could be made to reduce the cost is to extend the length between exterior painting from 7 years to 9 years. The original contract contained a buyout provision, with funds due to Southern Corrosion if the Town cancelled before the end of 6 th year, which was 9/1/2017 8/31/2018. The current contract may now continue without a buyout requirement. The annual contract cost in FY 2018 was $35,047.92. The amount is adjusted annually, based on a CPI index. The proposed contract, to begin January 1, 2019, reduces the annual contract cost to $27,641.00, and maintains the same CPI adjustment. Annual Cost Current $ 35,047.92 New Annual $ 27,641.00 Difference $ 7,406.92-21.1% Council may decide to switch to the new contract or continue under the existing contract. Attachment(s): 1-page Tank Maintenance Schedule Comparison Proposed Southern Corrosion Tank Management Contract Amendment #1 Suggested Motion: To continue with the existing Tank Management Agreement with Southern Corrosion, Or To approve the proposed Contract Amendment #1 to the Tank Management Agreement with Southern Corrosion.

8.A. Subdivision Review Crossway Falls The owner of the parcel 9941680, located near the Country Ridge subdivision, would like to divide the parcel into five (5) parcels. The plat was reviewed by the Planning Board on October 23, 2018, unanimously recommended approval, modified with the inclusion of an easement for maintenance of the private sewer lines used by Country Ridge and the applicant. The division will not involve right-of-way dedication, and the resultant lots exceed the standards of the R-30 Zoning district. The attached Plat Review provides a more detailed analysis of the plat. The applicant, Eric Green, will be in attendance to answer any questions. Attachment(s): Preliminary Subdivision Plat Review - PIN 9558-48-6796 Preliminary Plat Checklist Minutes from the October 23, 2018 Planning Board Meeting Suggested Motion: Approval of the preliminary subdivision plat, as recommended.

Two small stream heads converge on the southeastern side of the property Watershed District: Upper French Broad River WS-IV (Developable up to two dwellings per acres) Existence of Floodplain: None Present on Parcel Topographic Profile: The property consists of two prominent hills that slope downward until meeting the confluence of two stream heads. All proposed house pads are located on the northwestern side of the property (left of stream), which is the area of flattest grade. In looking at the contours this hill slopes downward approximately 120 form it highest point.

DImensional Information Note: All lots conform with the required dimensional standards. Lots 1 and 2 are irregularly plotted flag lots, but as they are greater than 30, they are within compliance. (section 203). Said platting style is currently permitted under the Town s subdivision ordinance. Total Area: 3.59 AC Project Density: Low Number of Proposed Lots: 5 Minimum Lot Size Required within Zone: 30,000 sq. ft.

Graphical Requirements Note: All graphical requirements have been provided except for (g) topographical information. 10 contour lines have been provided in this report. If needed, topo should be provided on another plat as to maintain legibility. North Arrow Scale (denoted graphically and numerically)

A Sketch Vicinity Map Tract Boundaries: See first page Infrastructural Requirements Electric and Communications: All proposed electric and communications lines are shown as being underground. See plat for further detail. Street Lines and Profiles: As mentioned earlier in the report Country Ridge Rd. and Woodbridge Drive will be the access points for these lots. No added street profiles have been submitted, as only driveways will be required for parcel access. Water and Sewer Layout: All lots will be served by an 8 sewer service along with a 6 water service. Sewer lines are shown passing internally while access to water lines will occur at access roads. Note: A statement by a N.C. registered engineer, specifying that the water and/or sewer system will be designed and constructed to the N.C. state standards has not been provided. All profiles need to be submitted to the Town Engineer. Drainage System: Easements of 5 per side have been provided on all interior lot lines while 10 per side has been platted for drainage system and utility placement. As there are no proposed streets, planned drainage systems have not been provided to control stormwater. Insomuch, runoff from newly created impervious surfaces will follow driveways and the naturally occuring depressions on the lot. Other Improvements Bike and ped Infrastructure and Open Space: No sidewalk improvements or other pike and ped facilities are proposed for construction. No open space has been provided. Erosion Control Note: No written documentation has been provided from the Henderson County Erosion Control Division stating that any required documentation has been submitted and reviewed. This will be mandatory prior to any grubbing or grading begins. Final Notes: From my review, I can see no reason why this preliminary subdivision plat does not meet all applicable subdivision and zoning code requirements. While there were deficiencies found (no topo), such is a simple addition.

Town of Laurel Park Minutes of the Planning Board October 23, 2018 3:00 p.m. The Laurel Park Planning Board met at Town Hall on October 23, 2018 at 3:00 p.m. Members Present: Chairman Dave Adams, Vice-Chairman Derek Allen, Gray Miller, and Jeffrey Pieper. Absent: Keith Dalbec and Ed Elliot. Also present: Town Manager Alison Alexander, Andrew Bowen of JM Teague Engineering & Planning, and Commissioner Paul Hansen. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA The agenda, amended to address Item 6.A. Subdivision Review Crossway Falls to immediately after Item 3. Approval of Minutes, was unanimously approved on motion by Derek Allen. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 MEETING Minutes of the September 11, 2018 meeting were unanimously approved on motion by Jeffrey Pieper. NEW BUSINESS SUBDIVISION REVIEW CROSSWAY FALLS Ms. Alexander said Eric Greene, the owner of parcel 9558486796, located near the Country Ridge subdivision, would like to divide the existing parcel into five (5) parcels. The plat must go through the Town s subdivision approval process, which involves Planning Board review and Town Council approval. She said the division will not involve right-of-way dedication, and the resultant lots exceed the standards of the R-30 Zoning district. Mr. Bowen reviewed the Plat Review report with the Board. Mr. Greene presented the plat to Council, and said he intends to construct five (5) houses, of approximately 2,000 square feet, with attached garages. He said the lots were laid out to avoid the natural stream on the property, and he marked the building sites on each lot. Chairman Adams asked Mr. Greene if he would answer questions from the audience, and Mr. Greene said yes. Questions from the public included the location of driveways, electrical lines, an existing retaining wall, and a private sewer line. Mr. Greene said his surveyor located the sewer line via the cleanouts, and it is 8 to the Hendersonville sewer line in Country Ridge Road, with a 4 and a 6 connection from the Country Ridge units. He said the depth of the line may vary, but it is several feet below the surface. After a discussion of the sewer line, Chairman Adams asked how the Country Ridge residents maintain the sewer lines now, and several residents said they enter the property now owned by Mr. Greene to make repairs as needed. Chairman Adams said there should be protection for everyone using the sewer line, and asked Mr. Greene if he would agree to place an easement for maintenance of the sewer line on the property for the affected units in Country Ridge A. Mr. Greene agreed. Ms. Alexander said they would pull a standard width to include, prior to final plat approval. Mr. Pieper said topography and drainage may be a matter for Mr. Greene to pay particular attention to during the construction of homes, but he was comfortable with the subdivision. The approval of the subdivision plat, as modified with the inclusion of an easement for maintenance of the private sewer lines, was unanimously approved on motion by Jeffrey Pieper.

OLD BUSINESS Zoning Ordinance Revisions Review changes in previously reviewed Articles: Article 1 Legal Provisions, Article 2 Zoning District Provisions, Article 3 General Provisions for All Districts, and Article 4 Parking and Loading. Ms. Alexander said this is an attempt to move Articles to an approved status by the Board for review by the Town Attorney and Town Council. After reviewing the edits suggested by Mr. Bowen, it was the consensus of the Board to move Article 1 Legal Provisions, to an approved status. The Board reviewed Article 2 Zoning District Provisions, and suggested the zoning map be removed for clarity. After an initial review of Section 2.5 Land Use Table, it was decided to allow the Board more time to review Articles 2-4 prior to the meeting on November 13, 2018, as it has been over a year since the Board last reviewed. Discuss Meeting Schedule Return to Twice Monthly Meeting Schedule? It was the consensus of the Board to discuss a bi-monthly meeting schedule at the next meeting. Mr. Bowen asked the Board if they would consider planning a longer meeting for the ordinance review in January, of three to four hours in length. Chairman Adams said he was open to the idea, and the Board could finalize the date and time in November or December. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 4:36 p.m. on motion by Derek Allen. David Adams, Chairman Minutes of the Laurel Park Planning Board October 23, 2018 2 of 2

8.B. Adoption of Codified Laurel Park Code of Ordinances In 2017 the Town contracted with American Legal Services to codify the Town s ordinances. Although not required for Towns with a population of less than 5,000, it is a best practice to provide easy access to the Town s ordinances and updates. The codification contains the Town s general ordinances; when the Town adopts modifications to the Zoning Ordinance, it may also be codified. During the codification process, the ordinances were reviewed for compliance with current state law, cross-referenced, and indexed. When appropriate, grammar was corrected, or words/phrases changed for consistency within the same chapter. After adoption, the link to the online ordinances will be placed on the Town s website, replacing the current listing of PDFs. Additionally, Town staff now have notebooks containing the current ordinance, for reference.

Town of Laurel Park Town Council Agenda Work Session Minutes October 11, 2018-9:30 a.m. The Laurel Park Town Council held an Agenda Work Session in Town Hall on October 11, 2018 at 9:30 a.m. Members present: Mayor J. Carey O Cain, Mayor Pro-Tempore Robert O. Vickery, and Commissioners A. Paul Hansen, George W. Banta, and Nancy P. McKinley. Absent: None. Staff present: Town Manager Alison Alexander and Public Works Superintendent Andrew Griffin. Mayor O Cain called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA Commissioner Hansen moved to approve the agenda as presented. Commissioner Vickery asked for discussion; there was none. The vote was unanimous in favor of the motion. SENATOR CHUCK EDWARDS Mayor O Cain welcomed Senator Chuck Edwards. Senator Edwards said he represented over 200,000 people in his district and it had been an honor to serve for over two (2) years. He had a discussion with Council about significant state issues, including hurricane relief, and significant Town issues. Town issues discussed were broadband, road maintenance, even-year municipal elections, and ETJ preservation. Other topics of discussion included the Ecusta Trail, the NCDOT project selection process, and public information efforts for funded NCDOT projects. FRIENDS OF LAUREL PARK UPDATE Ms. Alexander said this was an agenda item on the original agenda and was inadvertently removed prior to distribution. Friends of Laurel Park (FLP) President Mindy Collins and board member Bill Jacobs were in attendance. Ms. Collins said the FLP Board produced a large number of events in 2018, and will do a smaller number in the future, unless more volunteers are available to assist. Planned events include Arbor Day, Music at Jump Off, and a volunteer day to hang Christmas lights. Council and Ms. Collins discussed an annual dinner and membership. Ms. Collins said the FLP does not have membership as the LPCA did. With no members, there is no requirement for an annual membership meeting, and the Executive Committee had decided to not host an annual dinner. Ms. Collins asked the Town Council to provide her with any project ideas and said she had received a list from Ms. Alexander, too. Mayor O Cain asked the Executive Committee to commit to funding 50% of the remaining historical markers. WATER SYSTEM DISCUSSION In 2017 the City of Hendersonville completed its Water System Master Plan Report, which included improvements to the Hebron Zone. Commissioner Hansen said, at the July Hendersonville Water/Sewer Advisory Council meeting, he noticed the project was not included in the City s CIP. Ms. Alexander contacted Hendersonville City Manager John Connet, who said the project included work on the Town s water system. As a result, the City requested a letter from the Town by November 15, 2018 if Council would like to see the Hebron Zone improvements considered as part of the City s CIP planning process. Town Engineer Will Buie provided the Council with an overview of the project. He said its complex as it is currently outlined and would involve city customers who are not town residents being served through the Town s water system. He said consolidation of the two (2) water systems would ease many of the financial and political concerns. It was the consensus of Council to maintain the option of system merger

discussions as part of this project. Council instructed Ms. Alexander to draft a letter for review by Council prior to the October Regular Meeting requesting the City include the Hebron Zone project within its CIP. TANK MAINTENANCE CONTRACT Ms. Alexander said, as part of the FY 2019 Budget meetings, the Council asked she and Public Works Superintendent Andrew Griffin to review the Southern Corrosion Tank Maintenance contract. She reported the current 2012 contract includes interior cleaning of each tank every 5 years. Every tank except Fleetwood #2 will have the interior painted every 15 years, and exterior painted every 7 years. After review, the only change that could be made to reduce the cost is to extend the length between exterior painting from 7 years to 9 years. Gavin Harrell was in attendance from Southern Corrosion and reviewed the inspection and painting process. He said the annual contract is of benefit to the Town by spreading the cost of each tank s work, approximately $40 - $60,000 over multiple years. Mayor O Cain expressed concern over the length of the contract, and Mr. Harrell said he could see if the buyout provision could be removed due to the Town s existing contract. Commissioner Hansen asked if the tank bottoms could fail. Mr. Buie said this is not usually an area of concern. Mr. Harrell said the area above the water line, on the interior of the tank, is where most corrosion occurs. Mr. Buie said for years the Town would have to determine the work needed, solicit bids, and submit the paperwork for approval by the state. He said a contract for tank service would make sense, as it smooths out the routine tank maintenance costs. It was the consensus of the Council to consider the contract at the November Work Session. PLANNING BOARD VACANCY Council discussed various residents within the extra-territorial jurisdiction. No action was taken. AGENDA REVIEW FOR THE OCTOBER 16, 2018 COUNCIL MEETING 1. Call to Order 2.

TOWN MANAGER'S REPORT Town Manager Alexander said Nancy DuRose resigned from the Parks & Greenways Advisory Board. The Town has one (1) application for P&G, from Richard DuRose. Council decided to appoint someone to the vacancy in December when it appoints other committee and board seats. Ms. Alexander reported a mudslide occurred on Davis Mountain Road. Town Engineer Will Buie sent a Geological Technical Engineer who deemed the slide stable and the road safe to use. She said Town staff will continue to check the area daily, report any change in condition, and will clean up the slide per the Engineer s recommendation. Council discussed the area where the mudslide took place including kudzu removal and possible addition of a guardrail. Council asked Ms. Alexander about the Town s steep slope and erosion ordinance. After discussion, Ms. Alexander said she will research how other communities regulate steep slopes and single-family lots. Ms. Alexander updated Council on the Arcadia Views Development. She said WXZ Development s driveway permit was accepted by the NCDOT. The developer purchased the home and land across from the Hawthorn Hills entrance, located at Hawthorne Drive, to meet the DOT requirements for the second Arcadia Views driveway. WXZ Development will install a turning lane at the entrance which Hawthorn Hills will benefit from. Ms. Alexander expects the developer to request an extension to the Conditional Use Permit for Phase I since the driveway permit took longer to obtain than anticipated. Ms. Alexander explained to Council about a zoning violation regarding signs. Ms. Alexander said she confirmed with Town Attorney Alexander the signs met the definition of a sign. She said the first sign in violation was taken down, and a second notice of violation was sent for the other sign. Ms. Alexander said the Town received 62 applications for the Public Works vacancy. She and Mr. Griffin expect to have a candidate selected by the end of October with a start date shortly thereafter. She along with Land-of-Sky staff interviewed three (3) candidates for the part-time zoning position. An offer will be made to one (1) candidate, and, until the position is filled, Andrew Bowen from J.M. Teague Engineering will continue to assist the Town with zoning needs. Town Manager Alexander said the Town continues to receive many inquires from banks to provide the Town banking services, and the fees continue to rise with Wells Fargo, therefore the Town will send out a RFP for banking services in the winter. She and Town Clerk Kim Hensley will meet with Henderson County in October to inquire about tax collection services for the Town being performed by the County. DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORTS PUBLIC WORKS Public Works Superintendent Griffin reported the Department found two (2) water leaks. Both leaks were service lines and the lines were replaced with a product that is less likely to crack.

Mr. Griffin said construction of the Public Works Bunkhouse is on schedule. Duke Energy and PSNC Energy continue the installation process, a month after the Certificate of Occupancy has been issued he expects to have an Open House. Commissioner McKinley asked Mr. Griffin for an estimated percentage of time the Department spends on water-related tasks. Mr. Griffin said 20 percent and explained several water duties the Department conducts daily, weekly, and annually. Town Council Meeting October 16, 2018 Page 2
